Auckland Memorial Park

Auckland Memorial Park is located on 17 hectares (35 acres) of prime rural land surrounded by pasture. Set in a natural amphitheatre looking north-east towards the Hauraki Gulf, it occupies a spot of supreme natural beauty.

This natural beauty has been enhanced by a multi-million dollar programme of landscaping. A series of terraces sweeps up the enclosing hillsides, ensuring that every burial plot offers views of the sea and surrounding countryside, or is situated close to the tranquility of the watergardens.

At the Park's hub lies 4 hectares (10 acres) of lakes and gardens, providing the perfect setting in which to stroll or simply sit and contemplate. The whole Park is planted with trees and shrubs, not only for their beauty but to encourage birdlife. Anyone may visit to enjoy the special atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. Picnics, family outings - even musical events of an appropriate nature - conducted respectively, these will be encouraged because Auckland Memorial Park is a place to celebrate life as much as to mourn death.
